Guest- What Benp is saying is that NW cannot control who they play. If they have to play bad teams then they should beat them badly...if they didn't beat them badly then they would be criticized for that. We will see how they fair in the Palmetto Cup and the playoffs against better competition. Don't be surprised if they continue to win even against better competition.

U90,

Your logic is that if you are a top-ranked team, and you have to play bad teams.....you must beat them badly to show that you deserve to be highly ranked?

I understand the position NW is in. They would certainly prefer to have more competitive games within their region.

NW should do well in the tournament considering that the best team they play in the palmetto cup is Summerville

Don't be too surprised if Daniel takes home a 2 or 3 goal victory over Summerville.

Me being from the Upstate, Daniel's talented!!!

^^^^^^^^wow samuel jackson did not yell

i agree though they are talented and i think they will bet summervile.

Summerville has a fine team. They play the passing game very well, strong defense, and they can score if you make mistakes. They should make a very good showing in next weeks' tournament. I hear Hilton Head will have four of it's starters in Italy and unavailable for the tourney. I guess other teams may also have similar problems.

Bummer if that is true! I was looking forward to the FM v HH game. Would like to see both teams at full strength to get a better read on the rankings.

As far as setting limitations go, I am pretty sure that northwestern's starters did no even start against York. I'm not positive about that though.

Folks,

That is one thing you need to keep in perspective here.
Not only are they playing a few freshmen, they have also brought up JV players for a game or two and the starters hardly ever get past the first half.

You cannot bash NW because of the region around them having a decline in talent and they don't.

Could you imagine if Arroyo was playing also...

Also note that NW jumped on the tourney schedule this year so to play other teams outside the region SINCE none of them volunteered to play while making the schedule...

The regular season is almost over so just sit tight and the playoff's will tell...
